I%26#39;ve never been to Boston, but hope to plan a 3-day surprise trip for my husband in July. Omni offers Sox tickets with their hotel package ($289/night with 2-night min., breakfast buffet, 2 tickets).
Does anyone know where their tickets are in the park?
Is this the cheapest/best package available to stay in Boston at a decent hotel with good location %26amp; see a game?
what can we walk to from the Omni?
How much is a taxi from the Boston ariport to Omni?
Where are Omni Sox tickets located?
Hi,
If you can ask the hotel where the tickets are, we can tell you if they are decent or not. To be honest, Fenway is not like other parks; it%26#39;s smaller and there are fewer bad seats than in a cavernous place like Yankee Stadium, for instance. I doubt the Omni will be selling you obstructed view seating, for example. The only way we can let you know, though, is if they will tell you in advance. I wouldn%26#39;t buy the package myself, unless they are willing to do that.
Otherwise, the package price sounds fine. The tickets alone will cost probably $100, plus there%26#39;s breakfast included.
The Omni is in an excellent location, right in the center of Boston, close to most of the tourist areas, and close to the T. It%26#39;s about a 30 minute walk to Fenway, but it%26#39;s right near the Green Line, so you can take the T to the park easily enough.
A taxi from the airport to the Omni will probably cost you around $25-$30 with tip and tolls figured in. However, if you don%26#39;t have much luggage, it%26#39;s really easy to get there from the Airport via the T%26#39;s Blue Line to Government Center, which is only two blocks away. That will cost you $2.00 per person each way.
Have fun!

Hi mrsP2b,
I was also looking into the Omni package. As you know the price is $289 a night with a two night minimum. I rounded that to about $600.
I called the Omni and the reservationist wasn%26#39;t sure where the seats were located. She then asked a concierge who said the tickets were ';grandstand seats.'; That didn%26#39;t narrow things down very much because there are infield and outfield grandstands, and those seats are all over.
As this is a special occasion (my 25th wedding anniversary and husband%26#39;s 50th birthday) I wanted good seats (or at least to know where the Omni ones were so we wouldn%26#39;t be disappointed).
So I priced tickets for the same game on stubhub.com and found a pair of good seats marked up at a reasonable percentage compared to the original ticket price (I checked the Red Sox site to compare prices.)
I then decided to check out priceline (because there are just the two of us) to see if I could get a 4* hotel on the cheap. I got the 4* Marriott Copley Place for $85 a night. Priceline offered me another night at the same price, but we only needed the one night as we are going to Maine for the rest of our trip. Our total is $385. To compare apples to apples, adding in another night at the hotel would bring the total to $470. The only thing missing is breakfast.
So, I%26#39;m not really convinced the Omni package is a great deal, but it%26#39;s ok.
